Abstract
Two new double perovskite oxides, Ca(2)NiOsO(6) and Sr(2)NiOsO(6), have been prepared as polycrystalline powders by solid state synthesis. The two oxides were structurally characterized by variable-temperature powder neutron diffraction. Ca(2)NiOsO(6) was found to adopt a monoclinic structure (P2(1)/n), while Sr(2)NiOsO(6) was found to be tetragonal (I4/m). Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that Ca(2)NiOsO(6) orders in a canted antiferromagnetic state at about 175 K while Sr(2)NiOsO(6) orders antiferromagnetically at about 50 K.
